Find domain of y=rad20-6x
Evgesh-ka [11]
Domain, on an "even root" context, means, an even root cannot have a negative radicand, since  say for example \bf \sqrt{-25}\ne -5\qquad why?\implies (-5)(-5)=25

so... you end up with an "imaginary value"

so... for the case of 20-6x
"x", the domain, or INPUT
can afford to have any value, so long it doesn't make the radicand negative

to check for that, let us make the expression to 0, and see what is "x" then

\bf 20-6x=0\implies 20=6x\implies \cfrac{20}{6}=x\implies \cfrac{10}{3}=x

now, if "x" is 10/3, let's see \bf \sqrt{20-6\left( \frac{10}{3} \right)}\implies \sqrt{20-20}\implies \sqrt{0}\implies 0

now, 0 is not negative, so the radicand is golden

BUT, if "x" has a value higher than 10/3, the radicand turns negative
for example  \bf x=\frac{11}{3}
\\\\\\

\sqrt{20-6\left( \frac{11}{3} \right)}\implies \sqrt{20-22}\implies \sqrt{-2}

so.. that's not a good value for "x"

thus, the domain, or values "x" can safely take on, are all real numbers from 10/3 onwards, or to infinity if you wish

Answer:

The measure of angle 6 is 72.

The measure of angle 7 is 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles are equal. So angle 1, 3, 5 and 7 are all equal.

If you look at angle 1 and 2, they are adjacent angles, so together they add up to 180. So if you subtract 108 from 180 you get 72... and we already established that all corresponding angles are equal, so if angle 2 is 72 degrees, we can conclude that angle 6 is as well.
